After buying the car a little shy of 3 years ago she got away from me and had a fight with a fence [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cry.gif[/img] I had to have the radiator, and intercooler replaced, other than that it was cosmetic, front bumper, and doors. Sounds worse than it actually was, just wanted to do it right and show I`m not trying to hide anything.
